Syracuse true freshman Rob Long (Downingtown, Pa.) is a 2007 Sporting News Honorable Mention Freshman All-American. The most recent honor for the Orange punter recognizes his outstanding performance in 2007, when he averaged 41.9 yards per punt, which ranks 32nd nationally, including third-best among all freshmen, and second in the BIG EAST. Long was also named to the 2007 All-BIG EAST Second Team and to the 2007 Rivals.com BIG EAST All-Freshman Team.

Long finished third on Syracuse’s season punting yards list (3,139) and on the season punting attempts list (75). Twenty-one of his punts landed inside the 20. Against South Florida, Long matched the longest punt in school history with a 73-yarder in the second quarter. He tied Sean Reali, who kicked a 73-yarder against Clemson in the 1996 Gator Bowl, for the record.
